The newest album from GMA Dove Nominees 33Miles titled Today will hit retailers nationwide on Oct. 5.
Produced by Ian Eskelin (Francesca Battistelli, Stellar Kart) and Nathan Nockels (Passion, Phillips, Craig & Dean), Today features 10 new songs with an overarching theme of encouraging listeners to make the most of their present time. Today’s pop sound also reflects the band’s natural growth in their live performance, playing nearly 150 dates a year.
“We decided to name our album Today to bring even more focus to our mission, which is to encourage others to make the most of their ‘miles’ and live for Christ,” explains lead singer Jason Barton.
The heaven-minded “Where I Wanna Go,” is the first single off of the record, released to radio on Aug. 27. Other notable tracks on the album include “What Grace Looks Like,” written by guitarist Chris Lockwood, “Hold Me Up,” which is meant to resonate with the church and “Live,” written by lead singer Jason Barton.
Amidst the release of Today, the band will once again partner with Food for the Hungry to present their latest “Today Tour” with Chris and Conrad and JJ Heller. The tour will make stops in 30 different cities starting Sept. 16 through Nov. 21, full tour schedule listed below.
“The ‘Today Tour’ will showcase the new songs from our album Today as well as our previous radio hits like “Thank You” and “One Life To Love,” adds Barton. “We’ve done shows with Chris and Conrad in the past and have always enjoyed our time with them. JJ Heller is someone we’ve admired and can’t wait to have out on the road.”
33Miles is comprised of Jason Barton and Chris Lockwood. The band has received multiple GMA Dove Award nominations, including one for “New Artist of the Year” for their self-titled debut. They have released three albums with INO Records to date: a self-titled debut, One Life and their most recent, Today. The band will also unveil a Christmas project to release nationally in October of this year. 33Miles’ aggressive touring schedule includes nearly 150 dates a year, many with long time sponsors and ministry partners Food for the Hungry.
